As far as the back four goes, Neil started the season with Paul Huntington and Tommy Spurr flanked by Fisher and Greg Cunningham. A back three was used at Derby, then Ben Davies nudged Spurr aside as Huntington’s regular partner.

Josh Earl stepped-in for Cunningham and had a long run of games until his injury.

Woods has stepped in for a couple of games at right-back in place of Fisher and recently was utilised at centre-half.

Huntington missed the one game through suspension.
